Negative Electrons
I’m still trying to wrap my head around Dr Gerald Pollack’s recent paper where he asks the question, is it oxygen gas or is it electrons that we absorb through respiration. His hypothesis is excellent in favor of the latter.
Link to Hypothesis:
Is it oxygen, or electrons, that our respiratory system delivers? - ScienceDirect
His hypothesis deals with several questions but it kinda boils down to three main issues that places doubt on the oxygen as gas theory.
1. The molecular size of oxygen. If it’s the oxygen molecule that gets absorbed, then how is it that the nitrogen molecule does not. Air is about 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, 1% argon and then some other gases. Nitrogen has a smaller molecular size than oxygen, plus it’s much more abundant in the air so why isn’t nitrogen getting absorbed too? Even with deep breathing, nitrogen fails to pass through the alveoli to the blood. So how is oxygen getting absorbed? What kind of diffusion system is being used that the body can differentiate when it’s obviously not based on size. Interesting to note, that noxious gases such as fluorine and chlorine, once inhaled can be very toxic but this implies that these gases can also pass through the alveolar membrane. Yet, both gases are substantially larger than nitrogen.
2. Issue number two is the transfer of oxygen from the alveoli sacs to the capillaries. One would expect that the capillaries would surround the alveoli sac like a sheath allowing for amble transfer area of oxygen gas. But it does not. The capillaries that surround the alveolus are separated. Dr Pollack mentions some other considerations here too but they’re a bit over my head to lay them out.
3. Capillaries are way too small for the red blood cells to pass through without being squished. The red blood cells have to squeeze against the walls of the capillaries which seems like an inefficient system if the red blood cells were picking up a gas. Dr Pollack says in his paper “Why are capillaries so narrow as to require the appreciable energy expenditure in order to allow red-blood cells to pass through? Has mother nature erred? Or might the squeeze be necessary to facilitate some critical, yet-to-be-identified purpose?
So what is this yet-to-be-identified purpose? Could it be that this is not an exchange of oxygen gas but rather an exchange of electrons or Charge?
First, we must realize that the oxygen molecule is highly electronegative. The only molecule on the periodic table that is more electronegative is fluorine. (More on fluorine in a bit)
So, let’s just say that O2 has electrons to spare and will give them away in the right circumstances.
This hypothesis actually makes sense of the above three mentioned issues.
First, no gas flows, it’s only electrons that flow.
Second, contiguous contact between the alveoli sacs and the capillaries, and also the RBCs, can insure high electrical conductance.
And third is the squished RBCs. This squeezing may be critical for allowing electrons to flow easily from oxygen to the Red Blood Cells.
So here we have the hypothesis that it is not oxygen gas but electrons that are being absorbed when we breathe. Wow! And this brings us to the fish. Fish that live in the deep, deep, sea have access to very little oxygen. How do they survive if not by ‘breathing’ the water. Gills, like the lungs, have capillaries. Water is moved past the gills and the fish survives. But did you know that the water that exits the fish’s gill is more acidic (positively charged) than the neutral water that goes in? It makes sense that the fish’s gills extract the negative charge much like our lungs do.
So gimme more of those Electronegative electrons!
Some of you may have already guessed that a good way is through earthing. We all know we can pick up negative electrons from standing barefoot on mother earth. Lloyd also said that you can pick up negative electrons by sitting near a fireplace or in a wood paneled room. Another interesting source is Marine Plasma sea water such as Quinton water which is a whole other blog post in itself. Quinton water is rich in negative electrons. I drink a half shot of it every morning, first holding it in my mouth for about a minute to absorb those electrons. It’s cool stuff! It is actually very similar chemically to our own blood.
Interestingly, Rene Quinton did several experiments on dogs (cruel, I know) where he would drain as much blood as possible. He then replaced the blood with Quinton water and the dogs survived. So, think about that, if the blood was pretty much gone that meant there were very few red blood cells remaining!! How is that possible unless we’re talking Charge. That the dogs were still receiving an electron charge and could therefore survive. Which brings us back to Fluorine. Turns out we have been studying fluorine-compounds as a potential substitute for blood. And remember, from the periodic table, fluorine is more electronegatively charged than oxygen.
So, I’ll leave you with that. Definitely read the study that is linked above. You can also hear Dr Tom Cowan talk about it on his website under Livestreams. He did a class this past week on it. Do we breathe oxygen? - Webinar 12/04/2024 – Dr. Tom Cowan
My mind is still full of questions, but I love that. I’m having to rethink some beliefs I have but that’s where the fun is. And I’m definitely going to use Lloyd’s number on my water bottle. It’s probably already in the Balance disc, but just in case.
